Closing Time!!

[Ohana2011]

Very true! Keep me posted on what happens.

They wouldn't give me anything in writing... Just the assurance I will receive a member card entitling us to the benefits as we presented our contract before the announcement. Anyone who presented on or after 4/4/16 will not receive a member card I am told. Apparently Disney left it up to the brokers to provide the details of the grandfathering clause. I'm not too happy that it's not in writing on the legal documents submitted in the waiver of ROFR... That wording was never in my contract. Let's see...

For what it's worth, my contract was sent for ROFR on 2/23, passed ROFR on 3/16, but we didn't close until 5/2. Today when I got my membership number, I was able to log in and request a membership card to be mailed to me. I also have a temporary membership card I can print and use in the meantime. This seems to confirm what my broker had told me; even though we closed after 4/4, we would retain the benefits because our contract was sent for ROFR prior to 4/4.

Hi
That is great news. I think I posted here (but might have been in the facebook group) that I got to a higher up person the other day as my contract did not smoothly move from my broker to Disney after it was filed with the clerk. She was able to fix the problem within a day and I got my packet today. At any rate, when I asked her about the 4/4 thing she immediately said, let me look at your contract again, yes you are definitely in as your contract was in on 3/21. She said it very matter of fact so I felt a bit better. Can't wait to get the darn number this week to see if I can get BWV. I am 9 days after my 11 month window opened. I do not have high hopes based on how quick everyone says it goes. Thanks for the details!

My broker told me the same thing about Disney not giving me anything in writing. It does seem that others have gotten cards so I think we're good.....we better be!!!

Ok so I had some down time at work today and couldn't resist the temptation to call member services to get an update! We aren't in the system yet but they are working on contracts received 5/25 for anyone else who is waiting!

Also spoke to member administration today. My deed was recorded on May 24th. They told me that my account was set up, that they were in the process of transferring over my points, and that I should be receiving my member packet by the end of the week. Almost there!

They wouldn't give you number over the phone?

Nope. The cast member explained that he could see my member ID number, but was unable to give it out for security reasons (they use SSN to verify, but resale accounts don't initially have it). He was super nice when explaining it, so I didn't push it.

International buyers never give a SSN to DVC. We don't have one to give. I'd call back...

DVC received my closing docs the same day. I guess I had better call tomorrow!

I have heard that some will give it and some will not. I wouldn't have pushed it ether, but it can't hurt to call again and hope for someone else!

How are people tracking if the seller returned the closing paperwork? Are you just calling the title company for status?

 

[MRL214]

Received my member packet today! Hopefully I will have my member ID number by Tuesday!

Woo hoo!! Another step closer to vacation!!

If you don't receive an email that the property closed w/in 5 business days, I would call.

 

[Ohana2011]

Just received closing docs from Title Co... After calling & emailing on 5/24 that they needed to revise the docs... After waiting several days for revisions... They submitted the ROFR correctly, but the Warranty Deed was submitted with the incorrect spelling on our last names!!! More delays?!?!

Oh my! Your contract has taken forever. We have been grandfathered in. Haven't received our member cards yet but the online ones are blue...which mean we will get member cards. I was worried because it was not in the legal documents submitted by Disney to Orange County but all is good as I am able to purchase The Gold AP's.

 

[MRL214]

Received my member ID number in the mail! Made the offer on March 25th. Glad this process is finished!

That's great!
